Another video showing the fireball seen over Japan on Monday, Nov 4

People in western Japan have reported sightings of a sparkling light racing across the sky on Monday evening.

Experts say it was probably a "fireball" meteor - a piece of an asteroid that ignites upon entering Earth's atmosphere - and any surviving fragments mostly likely ended up in the sea.

A remote controlled camera at Fukuoka airport recorded an object emitting a strong green light, while another camera at Hakata port showed a faint orange light.
